Mehbe so, but I think you would have to agree that once a jet airliner is in
the air, it doesn't take much pilot training to operate the controls and
maybe diddle with the throttles a bit.
It would only take a few hours of training.
I proposed the following in a note to Fox News (their 'talking heads' kept
wondering who could train pilots to fly jet liners)
=====
If you put your 5 yr old son behind the wheel of car (airplane) in the empty
parking lot of a shopping mall (the sky), got the car moving (takeoff) and
told him to "drive into store xyz" (the WTC), don't you think he could do
it?
It's the same with a heavy jet. Once it is in the vicinity of the WTC, it
just takes some control movements to accomplish the task. A few hours of
training is all that is required.
